• Energetic Particle Influence on the Earth’s Atmosphere (2015, background): “Although the diffuse electron aurora contains the majority of the auroral energy flux (Newell et al. 2009), its lack of structure and intensity generally makes it less apparent and less visually intriguing than the discrete aurora.”
• Substorm and magnetosphere characteristic scales inferred from the SuperMAG auroral electrojet indices (2011, methodology): “On the basis of the formulas given in equation (1), as well as in the previous work [Newell et al., 2009; Thorne et al. 2010], that power will be about 80% diffuse auroral precipitation, with monoenergetic aurora a distant second (followed by roughly equal broadband or wave aurora and the ion…”
• Constructing the global distribution of chorus wave intensity using measurements of electrons by the POES satellites and waves by the Van Allen Probes (2013, background): “…waves is a dominant cause of electron precipitation into the atmosphere leading to the diffuse and pulsating aurora, which provides a major source of energy for the high-latitude nightside upper atmosphere [Ni et al., 2008, 2011; Newell et al., 2009; Nishimura et al., 2010; Thorne et al., 2010].”
• Particle Acceleration in the Magnetotail and Aurora (2012, background): “The monoenergetic aurora carries more energy than the broadband aurora, but the latter plays an increasing role for active conditions (Newell et al. 2009).”
• Resonant scattering of plasma sheet electrons leading to diffuse auroral precipitation: 2. Evaluation for whistler mode chorus waves (2011, methodology): “Since the occurrence of diffuse auroral precipitation extends over a broader spatial region of 4 ≤ L ≤ 12 [Newell et al., 2009], this suggests that ECH waves, which can”
